Any Asians here write an optional diversity essay?

dubris

Honestly, I am stuck. How am I contributing to diversity if Asians are over-represented to begin with? I tried looking online for some examples but all I found was the Deloggio example about some Vietnamese guy who got raped on the boat he rode over here. I haven't had anything nearly that tramatic to write about (thankfully.)

I'm American born, upper-middle class, male, speak only English, I have never had to work hard for anything... I might as well be a white boy! Does anyone have any ideas on what I could write about? The only thing I could come up with is "I'm Asian, I want to go into IP law, most engineers are Asian, therefore..."

Asians aren't considered for AA or considered as a URM. So find some other topic on how you would contribute to diversity to your law class. I like what Ann Coulter wrote in her law school ps for Harvard.

From "how to get into law school" by Susan Estrich.

Diversity is of ideas, and not of race, color, or physical characteristics. Write about how you would contribute to the diversity of ideas in law school.

Ha, that advice cost me $16 bucks.

WTF did Ann Coulter write in her PS? Did she just translate "Mein Kampf" to english?

In response to a statement that there are too many lawyers in the United States, a prominent law professor explained, "There are not a lot of Latino, African American, Asian American or Native American lawyers. We are still woefully underrepresented in the ranks of lawyers." -LSAC
